Forum Changes

[drjamescook]

Hello Folks!
I just wanted to inform you guys of some of the changes I made to the forum.

Top Menu
I have moved the Chat Room, Experience, and Facebook tabs into a new Community Tab. I have added a New Posts link which will take you directly to a list of all the new posts since you were last logged in. Hopefully these new menu options will use less screen real-estate.

Banner
I cropped it so it left aligns with the page.

Plugin Updates
I have updated iTrader, Market, Experience, Arcade, and Bookie to the latest versions. Hopefully this will fix a bunch of bugs - we were way behind on these!

New Forum Posts Sidebar
I got rid of it since adding the New Posts tab.

Shoutbox
I got rid of this too because it was never used.

Other
Changed a lot of permissions to expose more of the site to non-registered users. This will hopefully bring in more users and more trades!

As always, if you guys run into problems please fell free to reply to this post, or contact me or cardjim via pm.

Thanks!

thanks dr...should we remove the new posts link under the home tab so that there is not 2 new posts links?

It will prove difficult to remove the New Posts link under the Forums tab because it is embeded in the template. I might do it one day, but it's low on the list.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad to know everything is liked so far.
